hello, if I use search function in our mediawiki I often didn't get a result. e.g. if I search for "vpn" I don't get a result. If I enter "vpn-verbindung" the page is found. If I enter "verbindung" the page will be found as well.
Anyone can explain me why it doesn't work?
We use
MediaWiki <http://www.mediawiki.org/> : 1.11.0PHP <http://www.php.net/> : 5.2.1MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/> : 5.0.37thanks!

MySQL only indexes words > 3 characters. You can change it, but you may want to think it through before deciding whether you really want it. More details on Cf. http://eventum.mysql.org/wiki/index.php/Fulltext_Search
